Real talk, PAM defense won’t be able to hold Manvel under 40. Hell, they may have to beat Hightower in a shoot out this week, before they even think about Manvel. You sealed y’all fate by making this thread. 

😁😂

United got in the red zone many times.  Just couldn’t punch it in.  And I’m thinking that United plays like there’s no tomorrow.  Unfortunately, it still won’t be enough...

GCM vs Foster
Friday, Dec. 11 at 7:00 PM
Traylor Stadium

Only if you’re a United fan! 🤣 GCM fans felt that way in the first half, however we have come to learn that this staff time after time have made adjustments on the fly and/or at halftime to counter the opposing team. IMO United lost the game in the 1st half, when they did not distance themselves while the defense was playing lights out. GCMs defense doesn’t get enough credit, but they are pretty salty themselves, and keep GCM in the game until the coaches make offensive adjustments, and then HERE COME THE PATS! they’ve done it all season. A one score loss to PAM, and then just layed an egg against REL, this team was capable of winning a DC. They didn’t know how to win close games, that changed during the RSS game, and they haven’t looked back since. They know that the dude steering the ship will get them where they want to go as long as they keep it afloat. Coach Carter is a real one!! He’s already done special things with this program. The best part about it is, he WANTS to be in Baytown, that’s HIS program, and the kids in that community will be the benefactors.

We can all talk about what, will, should, could, might, probably, happen...at the end of the day, NONE of our thoughts, opinions, suggestions, or predictions, matter whatsoevever. 11 teenage boys will line up against the other 11 teenage boys, and they will determine the outcome. I will die on this hill, with the statement I am about to make. Coach Shannon Carter and his staff at GCM, deserve one helluva “attaboy” for the coaching job they have done with this group. Since back to back losses against PAM/REL, the patriots have won 4 in a row, and have trailed from the beginning in all of them. The halftime adjustments that this staff has made/put together, is second to none. Tonight, United’s defense was magnificent in the first half, the only first down GCM had, was via penalty. In the second half, that same defense/coaching staff  was overwhelmed, outmatched, and flat out whooped, for 24 points in the 3rd qtr alone. Congrats to the Patriots, and good luck to our fellow district mates, representing 9-5A in the Division 1 UIL State Playoffs. 

Problem is they only have like 3 offensive plays. Run #12. Bubble screen to #2. And just run around and try to find an open Wr some where which worked a couple times last night.  I knew and said in the beginning they weren’t running on us.  Just had to minimize the busted plays. 

what was dumbfounding to me, about United’s play calling in the 2nd half, was EVERY time it got to 3rd down, GCM ran the same blitz and sacked the qb almost every time, forcing y’all into an unmanageable 4th down try. The play caller should have called a QB draw or a screen pass and it wold have gone to the house. Yet, not once was either of those plays ran on 3rd down. Mind boggling. Real talk, there is so much speed on that defense it is ridiculous, those kids can flat out get after it

5A-DI Bi-District Beaumont United at Manvel Friday December 11, 7:00 pm Alvin ISD Freedom Field - Iowa Colony

2nd Place would be GCM's highest finish in football. The 2008 team finished 3rd after winning the final four games. (Lost to Central 7-0 in Bi-district)
If (and when) they win a playoff game, historic.
Happy for the program and Happy for Coach Carter and his staff.

I know, but Coach Kevin O'Shea yelled out "Fumble Rooskie, Fumble Rooskie"

Roughly a million of them come from M.B.G.😅🤣😂

After the United defense completely shut down GCM offense in 1st half (Patriots had 19 offensive plays for -7 yards of offense, 0 first downs) one would think that the Timberwolves had the game well in hand. As Lee Corso would say "not so fast my friend".
First three offensive series for GCM in 3rd Q (actually first 7 minutes of 2nd half) Patriots score 3 TD's. Two of those set up by fumbles from United (one being a whiffed punt which I thought I would never see again after seeing United do that a few weeks ago). The momentum had definitely swung in the favor of the home team. Just an amazing turnaround!
IMO, it was the lack of offense for United that cost them this game. Not the defense.
But, it's not often you see a team with -7 yards of offense (14 rushes for -11 yards, 1-5 passing, 4 yards) in first half then turn it around with over 200 yards in 2nd half. Give credit to GCM for making the adjustments.

Ran outta likes

Maybe he is thinking the underdog will upset GCM.

Well, perhaps it is because I wasn't clear what I meant by "projected matchup" predictions.  It probably should have been labeled "Bi-District Matchups if the Playoffs Started This Week."  That is based upon the positive points tiebreaker.  Currently, Lee, United and GCM are tied for 2nd in district at 4-2.  I have Lee in the 2nd spot as they hold the head to head tiebreaker over both GCM and United.  I have United in 3rd because as to the current state of the positive points tiebreaker, which is admittedly yet to be completed, United only sits at a -9 while GCM sits at -14.
Are the projected matchups I posted an indication of what I think will happen on Thursday? No.  If there is one real true pick 'em game in our area this week, BU/GCM is it.
All of that being said, you did fasten on what my dilemma was for the #10 spot.  It did come down to United and GCM and I had considered, in fact most of the day, yesterday, putting United in that spot.  GCM's slightly better overall winning percentage is what put them over the top this week.

Ah but yes.  Remember PAM shut y’all out and we only allowed 20 by them and we scored 13.   Sooo we will see 

Depth was a concern with those 5 wins... keep that ish in YALL pocket lol. If they were 1-5 and losing by 7 points or less, then I would agree. 

Good job Pats. 

Good deal, Pats.

We do.  And should be back to full strength on O next week. 

If PAM beats LEE, LP beats BU, and GCM beats FW, PAM will be 5-0 and Lee, LP, BU, and GCM will all be 3-2, with 2 weeks to play. That would be insane 

I coached for over 10years at the HS level, 5A and 6A schools, and it mattered. If it didn’t then why even keep score. JV is the last time some of those kids will ever step on a field in a competitive environment, and as a parent, if I thought the coaches that I trust to spend more time with my kid than I do for 4 years, we wouldn’t be there so they damn sure better care, if not, they would only be doing a disservice to themselves, by not having those irrelevant JV kids prepared for Friday nights.
